Fox News' Brit Hume Calls Obama Administration Economically Illiterate
Associated Content (AC) ^ | April 5, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Remember when Brit Hume hosted Special Report up to 2008, before handing the reins to then heir-apparent Bret Baier? Remember how Hume was always careful to be the epitome of "fair and balanced," serving as a newscaster who wouldn't get into biases with regards to what story he was covering? Well, thankfully, now as Fox News' senior political analyst, Hume is no longer bound by those restrictions and so can let criticism fly with wild abandon. And let it fly he did on Fox News Sunday when he tore into the Obama Administration for being marked by "economic illiteracy!" Going further, Hume also mocked the total lack of private sector experience of Obama and the members of his administration! With the unemployment rate still stuck at nearly 10% and many new hires being temporary, government jobs, Hume was 100% correct.

If Hume is unrestrained because he is now commenting, he should end his comment with, ". . . . unless this administration is as anti capitalist free enterprise as many believe. If that is the case, he is much smarter than this commentary concludes."

Robert Reich didn’t do Obama’s team any favors, either:

Anyone at Free Republic already knew Obama was an economic illiterate. This was not news in any real sense, to anyone with any sense. What is news is that people are saying it out loud on a national news program.

I like Brett more as he matures, and look forward to a long carrer at Fox for him, but he’s no Brit Hume. I’ve long considered Brit to be the true America’s
Newsman that Cronkite was so erroneously pegged as.

Why did Brit Hume leave? He was very good. Serious. Best anchor out there.
